The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) may have the popular vote in in the film comics, but DC comics and graphic novels hold a special place in this former YA librarian’s heart, and Shadow of the Batgirl is a prime example why.
The storytelling is multi-faceted, the characters are memorable, and the graphics are on point.
Cassandra Cain is one of my favorite all time DC characters and Shadow of the Batgirl is a great introduction of Cassandra’s character. We are introduced to her upbringing, follow her through a turning point in her life, and get to meet the influences that help her grow into the amazing character she will become.
